Error messages pop up on lvcreate/lvremove. I'm on ~amd64. Software versions: sys-fs/2.02.97-r1 sys-apps/systemd-196 0.11.8 These errors only happen if I boot into systemd. No troubles with openrc.

"0.11.8" in my previous post related to openrc.
Looks very similar to an old kernel bug. See this links: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727925 https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=92762 https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/8/18/112 Paul, can you test this with kernel 3.6.x?
I downgraded to gentoo-sources 3.6.11 and still had the same error. I currently run kernel 3.7.3.

I have recently migrated to systemd and can confirm this issue. Same error with systemd-197-r1, udev-197-r4 and lvm2-2.02.97-r1.

This is related to bug #453594 comment #19
(In reply to comment #7) > This is related to bug #453594 comment #19 I have this issue with dracut, so this is not related.
OK. This setting in kernel config helped me: CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH="" https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-lvm/2012-August/msg00025.html PS. Creating snapshots still fails with lvmetad, but this is another story.
I confirm CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH method works. Maybe kernel options test should be added into the ebuild?
I proposed a patch here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=453594#c26
